Controversial immigration policy in the US has expired and officials are warning about a potential surge in migrants at the US-Mexico border.

Officials have said when Title 42 is no longer in effect, tens of thousands of people could could try to cross over.

The temporary law, introduced by Donald Trump when he was US president, meant illegal migrants could be removed quickly using the Covid pandemic as justification.

The winding down of Covid measures means the policy no longer has any public health justification which prompted officials to pronounce it would end on 11 May.
